Anyone interested in getting a peek at the International Space Station and the docked space shuttle Atlantis will have a great shot at it in the coming days.

On three consecutive days starting Tuesday, the orbiting objects will be visible in the early evenings from the north valley. In each case, according to NASA, the space station and the attached shuttle will appear as a “very bright” object passing rapidly through the sky.

* Tuesday, beginning at 5:58 p.m., coming out of the north-northwest. Should be visible for about six minutes.

* Wednesday, beginning at 6:20 p.m., coming out of the west-northwest. Should be visible about six and a half minutes.

* Thursday, beginning at 5:07 p.m., coming out of the north-northwest. Should be visible for about five minutes.
